Realizing
that whatever a Pilot touches should be ennobled by that touch, we, as business
women, are resolved to make our business standards high, to do our work in
every place in which we are employed as if it were our life work, never omitting
an opportunity of doing a kindness or making a friend; to put into our business
dealings a note of sympathy for humanity; to follow truth; to do our best
from dawn till night; and so to live in the discharge of our duty, so to take
care of every responsibility that comes before us that we shall radiate that
which is unselfish, beautiful and true; and when we shall have finished with
our tasks we shall have given an upward impetus to human ideals and achievements.
With this resolution before us then, we believe it is our duty as Pilots:
- To
consider our work worthy and ourselves worthy of our work, exemplifying
in it at all times the Pilot Motto “ True Course Ever”.
- To
work each day at that which is before us seriously, vigorously, calmly,
cheerily; to improve ourselves in every possible way; to increase our efficiency;
to enlarge our visions.
- To
be ambitious to succeed, but always to be ethical, desiring nothing that
is not achieved by justice, honesty and fairness.
- To
live in the presence of the great eternal laws, which will keep us patient
when the task is irksome and calm and unspoiled when we seem to succeed.
- To
acquire self control and self reliance; to be ready to give as well as to
take; to develop in ourselves an appreciation of the finer things of life;
to be honest and generous; to help, not to hinder; to be slow of criticism
and quick with praise.
- To
cherish our visions and our ideals; to cherish the music that stirs our
hearts, the beauty that forms in our minds, knowing that on these things
we can build our world, for visions and dreams are the seedlings of reality.
- To
be loyal to Pilot in thought, word and deed.
- To
see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, think no evil of a Pilot but to
be no more loyal to a Pilot in this respect than we are to any other person,
for the genius of Pilot is in its kindness, and justice is the soul and
substance of life.
